I started working on the project again. I tackled my largest hurdle yet today: Getting text on the screen. Check it out!
You can't see it very well in this picture, but the bottom row says: This is the Text Test
The bit of green text below the ship is actually a rudimentary health bar. or Structural Integrity Meter. SIM
The information on how to do this can be found here:

They did an awesome job and I picked up what I had to do from their example in like 15 seconds. I can't believe this was holding back development so much. You learn a little everyday I guess.
